Armor with the tech trait incorporate electronics, computer systems, integrated power sources, and a comm unit.
Shields with the tech trait incorporate electronics, computer systems, and integrated power sources.

Armor Specialization Effects
Source Player Core pg. 246
Certain class features can grant you additional benefits with certain armors. This is called an armor specialization effect. The exact effect depends on which armor group your armor belongs to, as listed below. Only medium and heavy armors have armor specialization effects.
Polymer This flexible armor protects you from dispersed heat and force. You gain resistance to area damage equal to 1 + the armor's resilience value for medium armor, or 2 + the armor's resilience value for heavy armor.
